Hyotan Onsen tours

This day trip was really fun, and the entire itinerary was very well arranged! 😊 The first stop was Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell). The scenery was truly stunning, and seeing it in person was even more breathtaking than in the photos. Everywhere was great for taking pictures, and I easily got so many gorgeous shots! The second stop was the zoo, which turned out to be quite a pleasant surprise! Besides lions, tigers, giraffes, and camels, there were quite a few animals that are usually rarely seen. Some of them were even new to me, which felt very fresh and exciting. The animals were also very cute, and I had a great time watching them! Finally, we went to Yufuin. It is a really lively place with many unique little shops and all kinds of snacks. You can walk and eat along the way while slowly soaking in the atmosphere of a small Japanese town—so much fun! Additionally, I really have to give a special shout-out to our tour guide, Jimmy Ryu-san! He was enthusiastic, friendly, and attentive. He explained the whole itinerary very clearly, reminding us in advance about meeting times, boarding locations, and where the restrooms were, which gave us great peace of mind. Along the way, he also shared interesting stories about life in Japan, making it feel like chatting with a friend so we were never bored! All in all, this was truly a very pleasant trip with great sights, excellent arrangements, and a very dedicated tour guide. If I have the chance again next time, I will definitely join! Highly recommended with five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

this tour was really good if you love animals and want to see them up close. I enjoyed the guide Zhu Zhu was so sweet and even she spoke little English she was so great and made sure I was able to follow along with rest of the group. She was so delightful and kindhearted, helped me order all the foods form all the shops and stores and offered me her umbrella and even the sweet apples. I highly recommend this route you get to see lots in one day!

This was my first time participating in a one-day tour, and I'm so glad our guide, Li Jing, assisted us on this trip. The entire itinerary was smooth and seamless. Throughout the journey, our guide diligently explained Japanese customs, traditions, and the origins of geographical names to the group. At the Blood Pond Hell, she took group photos for each family, explained the reason behind the red water, and pointed out the best photo spots. At the zoo, although we couldn't participate in the feeding activity because the feeding cart slots were full, our guide specially arranged seating so that every family could see the scenery on both sides of the zoo. The matcha-like Mount Yufu and the fairytale-like Yufuin village left a deep impression!

That time my family can not have fixed plan until Apr 26th night. So I made a booking at 1AM Apr 27th, when I was already too sleepy and the tour we want to go already full until May 8th while I want to arrange a tour on Apr 28th. Then I have to change to another tour with another day , Apr 29th. Then I still get up so early on Apr 28th cause in my mind it’s Apr 28th. But on a bad day I still got lucky cause I met a very nice tour guide - Ada. She helped me until me and my family can have a seat on bus. Without her I don’t know if I can do anything to rearrange my plan. Shoutout to Ada👏🏻 Then I met another nice girl sitting next to me on a tour bus. She is from Hongkong and wanna take a picture with me

Amazing experience! Our tour guide, Emily-san, was very helpful and made the experience even better! I really appreciated how she would walk over to our seats to explain the information in English before translating it for the whole group in Chinese. Moreover, I initially thought that the African Safari might not meet my expectations, but it ended up being one of the best parts of the trip! The jungle buses were fully booked, so we went in on our tour bus instead, with safari music playing in the background. It was such a fun and unique experience! My friend also realized that she had left her phone in the restroom while we were on our way to Yufuin. Emily-san immediately contacted someone, and thankfully, the phone was found! Things could have turned out very differently, so we were really impressed by how quickly and calmly she handled the situation. Thank you, Emily-san, for making our trip such a wonderful and memorable experience! ❤️

The onsen eggs and pudding we tasted amidst the thick steam of Yufuin Umi Jigoku were such a delicacy that they made us forget the hot weather, and the dreamlike cobalt blue of Kamado Jigoku also left a deeper impression than expected. Next, we visited Kyushu Natural Zoological Park (African Safari), which, living up to its reputation as the largest in Japan, offered a special experience of encountering the most diverse and numerous wild animals I've ever seen, from lions, tigers, elephants, and giraffes to kangaroos, meerkats, and squirrel monkeys. Traveling along the safari road in a tour bus, we were able to observe the animals up close in their natural state, which was truly breathtaking. Afterward, we enjoyed the picturesque scenery of Lake Kinrin and then had an excellent meal at a soba restaurant highly recommended by our guide, which perfectly complemented the profound landscape. Strolling through the shopping street near the lake, tasting the famous Kinsho croquettes and honey ice cream, and exploring the charming streets also added to our simple pleasures. Undoubtedly, the highlight of this trip was meeting our guide, Lee Hyang-yong, who is fluent in both Chinese and Korean. Thanks to her excellent professionalism and passionate guidance, we enjoyed a perfect and fulfilling journey without a single flaw. Moreover, she also possessed exceptional photography skills, and we were fortunate enough to capture many precious "life shots" with my friends that we will cherish forever. I extend my sincere and deepest gratitude to guide Lee Hyang-yong, who not only provided thoughtful dinner recommendations that could be enjoyed in Fukuoka until the very end of the tour but also meticulously and kindly took care of every aspect of our trip from beginning to end. Thanks to the unforgettable memories we made on this trip, I will undoubtedly choose GOGODAY TRAVEL for my next journey, and I highly recommend a trip with guide Lee Hyang-yong to anyone considering a Kyushu tour.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolute Must-Do Tour in Japan! This tour was an incredible experience from start to finish. The time management was absolutely perfect—everything ran like clockwork, and there was zero wasted time or filler locations. Every single stop on the itinerary was amazing, beautiful, and well worth visiting. What truly made this trip unforgettable, though, was our tour guide, Thomas. He is hands down the best guide I have ever had on a tour in Japan! Thomas was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and brought such great energy to the group, making the entire day seamless and fun. If you are looking for a perfectly organized tour that hits all the best spots without feeling rushed, I cannot recommend this one enough. Thank you, Thomas, for an amazing day! Bonus 📸📸📸Thomas is an excellent photographer he will help you get unforgattable photos and his scenery shoots are incredabel I’ve shared some of his photos.
